Updating Forefront hotfixes and virus definitions

Experts,

We have Microsoft forefront and our security engineer informed that we use SCCM to update virus definitions and WSUS to update application version.

We want to use Intune for this machines, which cannot co exist with SCCM agent on machines. 

Is there any way to update virus definitions (possibly automatic) on clients so that we do not need SCCM agents on these machines anymore???

Thanks a lot!!!!

Hi,

You could edit the Definition Updates Source configuration which by default points to the Configuration Manager. For the standalone scenario you could enable Microsoft Update and Microsoft Malware Protection Center only. If your clients do not have direct connectivity to the internet the use of a UNC share could also be an alternative, but then requires that you periodically update the share with latest definition updates packages.
